The anime BY FAR. It slowed the pace down and took more time to get us invested in the story. The pacing for most of the first part of the manga is waaaay too fast, to the point that I really didn’t care for a lot of what happened

The manga, mostly because of the art style. There were a lot of scenes I think looked way cooler there.

Manga 100%... the anime was fine, but it leaves a lot to be desired

Didn't watch the show yet but I definitely enjoyed more manga , probably because of the art style. This way, while reading I could imagine myself them running or fighting instead looking at the CGI

I think this is one of the rare cases where both are actually worth it.
I love the manga but the anime did a lot of things right in a way only animation can.

Which did you enjoy more

I can’t decide, I think the funny moments came through better in the manga but the fights where way more epic in the anime

Manga way more. The anime is boring at times and CGI makes it worse than even some sol that came out this year like Akebi’s Sailor Uniform.

to be fair the animation in Akebi's sailor uniform was probably the best animation i've seen in a tv-series very few shows compare visually, SOL or not. 

anyways. i want to say manga. but also i wasn't really sold on the manga on the first read through until the next arc. so the anime hasn't really gotten a chance to get to the best material.

The so called "realism"(which was just garbage rotoscoping and cgi and badly directed fight scene shots) ruined everything that the manga was going for. Disappointing

why is the anime so overhyped? It's a 7 at best, manga is clearly superior, the anime is very inconsistent of entertaining the viewer, there are 2 very good episodes and half of them are setup/mediocre ones, people vote animes better and better and every new season the new top 10's are getting fully replaced, this needs to stop.

can we discuss this question when the anime eventually comes to its conclusion. like so far so good yeah, we'll see after its end 

It doesn't really matter because MAPPA will do the same on the next season. Obviously.

I have to say manga. Not because I’m a manga purest, in fact I think there are a lot a flaws in manga. I just happen to be a lot further in the manga then season 1 has adapted.

Def enjoyed the manga more but the anime was still amazing. I just think they’re both different takes on the same story and I kinda love both almost equally.

well, after the anime ended I went and finished the whole thing in one sitting so with a fresh memory of it I'll say
manga probably, I mean what could you expect when the anime only adapted the a small portion of the bigger picture
art style was a bit weird but it grows on you

Anime. It slowed down the pacing a bit which was nice. The manga was way too fast to the point that it was hard to care about any of the characters.

All the people saying anime is better than manga have not read the manga , its obvious Manga is better , anime is like The edgy shounen Teenage anime , Where kids find the stuff cool etc ,, But manga is obviously superior , Tho manga has that stuff too ,. It doesn't feel that awkward to sit through ,,, based on feelings I don't feel shit while watching the entire anime but during the manga , i had rollercoasters of emotions ,even if u only count content covered by anime ,,,, I advise people to Just end the anime Here , This 1 season is good enough for the names but no need to animate the next seasons which have tons of fights ,, I don't wanna see the useless Unnecessary shits in 4kUHD but the Characters/fights in a goofy CGI :')

People saying the anime is souless or that the manga is somehow some pinnacle of subtlety and human expression that the anime is missing are either memeing around or read some other manga.


None of you must be serious.

Anime, the manga was pretty good but, although I don't know exactly why, I don't remember almost anything about the story, so that means the anime was like seeing for the first time and with excellent animation, music and direction.

As was evident, it was not a very successful adaptation but I also didn't like that they only had 12 episodes. I'm sure some would be happy with at least 25 episodes.... The manga beats it by far.

I like some things in the anime more so anime for me but i can see why some people prefer the manga, CGI might have been a reason, not everyone used to it

right now the manga is better, but that’s only because the anime hasn’t gotten to the really good parts yet.
once it does… oh boy will we be in for a feast 👀

I think CSM is one of these series where you have to watch the anime and read the manga to fully enjoy it.

personally, i liked the manga better. i feel like some scenes in the anime didn't catch the same "vibe" as the manga in certain scenes. however, I'm still excited to see the upcoming seasons of the anime.
